We study the assisted adiabatic passage, and equivalently the transitionless quantum driving, as a quantum brachistochrone trajectory. The optimal Hamiltonian for given constraints is constructed from the quantum brachistochrone equation.…

We describe here a novel way of defining Hamiltonians for quantum field theories (QFTs), based on the particle-position representation of the state vector and involving a condition on the state vector that we call an "interior-boundary…

Non-autonomous dynamical systems appear in a very wide range of interesting applications, both in classical and quantum dynamics, where in the latter case it corresponds to having a time-dependent Hamiltonian. However, the quantum…

Optimal control techniques provide a means to tailor the control pulses required to generate customized quantum gates, which helps to improve the resilience of quantum simulations to gate errors and device noise. However, the significant…

A quantum state for being an eigenstate of some local Hamiltonian should be constraint by zero energy variance and consequently, the constraint is rather strong that a single eigenstate may uniquely determine the Hamiltonian. For…

We describe a semidefinite relaxation method which finds lower bounds to the ground state energy of a quantum Hamiltonian subject to Hermitian linear constraints along with approximations of ground state expectation values. We show that…

Optimizing over separable quantum objects is challenging for two key reasons: determining separability is NP-hard, and the dimensionality of the problem grows exponentially with the number of qubits. We address both challenges by…

While quantum simulation is one of the most promising applications of modern quantum devices, accessible simulation times are fundamentally limited by finite coherence times due to omnipresent noise. Based on the ideas of relational…

We provide several quantum algorithms for continuous optimization that do not require gradient estimation. Instead, we encode the optimization problem into the dynamics of a physical system and coherently simulate the time evolution. We…

We study classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a probability distribution to the physical time, which is assumed to be discrete. - This is motivated by the ``timeless''…

We consider the following task: how for a given quantum state $\rho$ to find a grounded Hamiltonian $H$ satisfying the condition $\mathrm{Tr} H\rho\leq E_0<+\infty$ in such a way that the von Neumann entropy of the Gibbs state $\gamma_H(E)$…
